Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#22993: build: set OSX_MIN_VERSION to 10.15
a43b8e955558483d8893996cc3a67bc74cbaf358 build: set OSX_MIN_VERSION to 10.15 (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  Taken out of #20744, as splitting up some of the build changes was mentioned [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22937#discussion_r707303172).

  This is required to use `std::filesystem` on macOS, as support for it only landed in the libc++.dylib shipped with 10.15. So if we want to move to using `std::filesystem` for `23.0`, this bump is required.

  > Clang now supports the C++17 \<filesystem\> library for iOS 13, macOS 10.15, watchOS 6, and tvOS 13.

  macOS 10.15 was released in October 2019. macOS OS's seem to have a life of about 3 years, so it's possible that 10.14 will become officially unsupported by the end of 2021 and prior to the release of 23.0.

Bitcoin Core

Setup

Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.

Running

The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.

Unix

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

  • bin/bitcoin-qt (GUI) or
  • bin/bitcoind (headless)

Windows

Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.

macOS

Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
